On night one, Discovery is doing an event called Dancing with Sharks. That's people! Dancing with sharks! It's something you must see to believe, but it doesn't stop there. From testing shark venom on a human to placing a camera inside a shark's mouth, Discovery's Shark Week is pushing the limits like never before and is a week everyone will be talking about. Shark Week starts this Sunday, July 20th at 8 on Discovery. Now is a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began.
Starting point is 00:00:36 In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during the ad, Reed's like? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads, like, Cuervo. I think you could lay out, especially
Starting point is 00:00:49 for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.

Dominique Foxworth is going to be here in a second. I want to talk some football with him, but I want to ask the group here, because Greeny is out and because I just saw on ESPN, if any one of you walk into a meeting at ESPN and you got to do a show that day,
Starting point is 00:02:01 and Damian Woody and Mike Tannenbaum are the guys who are going to be on your panel, What's the question in July you would put in front of them on a Wednesday before noon in order to get traction with your audience in in July excuse me. So what what would you choose Tony because I'm gonna give you the topic and I don't think you can do better than the topic they chose. They're goated. When you step in to get up, they're doing stuff that's so high level and first take they're doing stuff that's so high level that sometimes it's the most obvious thing yet the best thing.
Starting point is 00:02:32 New highest, newest highest paid guard? No, they were not. They did do that though. They were not, well they were not doing that when I checked in. What they were doing is, is Dak a top 10 quarterback? Oh, you got me locked in. I swear, I, I, you believe me or not believe me I swear that's what I was gonna say. All right, Greg
Starting point is 00:02:53 Cover that on game night tonight or what? It was so cool. You could have said it. Why didn't you say it? What happened? You were laying out whatever Dominic Foxworth is with us now. Is he though? What are we talking about? Torch picking down? Yeah. Come on. So is he dumb?
Starting point is 00:03:09 I absolutely think he is. I mean, I get that you're kind of making fun of it, but you're also appreciating it. But as someone who is inside the animal, it's an art form, man. And this is the months, as Ray Lewis says, and you point out often is like you you pay me For everything through the week. The Sundays are free. This is what the producers that get up are getting paid for right now
Starting point is 00:03:33 This is what Damien woody is getting paid for right now It's somehow manufacturing some interest when ain't nobody doing nothing and figuring out finding a list Oh, Jerry Fowler, every time this year, we did some of that on my show, which like I heard you have Pablo on earlier and you make the argument that Pablo's trying to mix in the smart with the stupid. I don't think anything that I do on my show is stupid,
Starting point is 00:03:56 but it's really smart and really fun. And we play with the lists and we got into rustic instruction. I think that this is the time of the year, at least for me on my show, that we explore the bigger picture ideas because we don't, we try to pretend like we're above lists, but secretly me and Charlie still argue about them. But then we like dive into deeper topic expose or not expose.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Explorations is what I was looking for. And some of the things in sports that I think are very impactful, but people don't know much about Dominique. I want to give you a little bread crumb for later some of the things in sports that I think are very impactful But people don't know much about Dominique I want to give you a little breadcrumb for later on in the show and later on in this segment I want to do a list called old faces new place. Oh, he's gonna be too good at that game though We're gonna rest of us though. We're gonna be bad at it. He's gonna be good at it You're gonna know where everybody is you're gonna know I'm gonna be about as good at that game as Tony is a playing quarterback, I think so. Excellent. Okay. Awesome. Are you ready? I asked someone I know Dan, you like to have people come on
Starting point is 00:04:53 and and on buds on occasion. I rarely on buds, but I think last week at some point, Oh, here we go. My, my buddy, Andrew Hawkins. Oh yeah. Get ready Tony. Cause I'm coming right at you. I didn't do it. My buddy, Andrew Hawkins gaslit Tony into saying that if he put his mind to it, he would have been a good college tight end. The disrespect, the absurdity of that, that Tony wasn't here talking about, Oh, I just didn't apply myself. I was playing basketball, but if I would have tried I could have been a college Titan College you say college. There's a lot of colleges. You know that right now everybody went to Maryland. There's a lot of college I'll take it back. Thank you. There's some bad colleges
Starting point is 00:05:39 I'm gonna say you were gonna be in the college You are gonna be a tight end at the University of Maine like you Himself again, that's all right application Dominique I am willing to hire you immediately right now to regularly um buds around here once a week To tell us all the ridiculous things we said over the course of a week that weren't called out enough on our show I feel guilty being the ombudsman on Tony because I actually love Tony because he says things like that. And I don't want to discourage him.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Like keep the confidence high Tony. I absolutely love him. You will never discourage me. I promise you. You will never discourage me. I promise you. Chris, do you want to ask, Dominique is a colleague of both Dan Graziano and Mike Greenberg and I guess Peter Schrager now, who's getting awfully comfortable in that chair,
Starting point is 00:06:28 as we've noticed, like super comfortable, just unreasonably comfortable. Do you wanna file your complaint or your observation with Dominique? I'm picturing Greenie in Greece on vacation being like just rooting for a sloppy show when Schrager's hosting. And he's like talking to the producers,
Starting point is 00:06:44 he's like, you know, I thought Graziano killed it. I don't think we need Schrager. I think Greeny is, as most people who are like incredibly successful, like he is unreasonably competitive. However, I also know that Greeny does not pay attention to the show when he's gone. Unless Schrags is hosting. Greeny has no idea what's happening on the show. Like I wore a wig one day and impersonated Greeny
Starting point is 00:07:11 on the show. He had no idea what was going on. Yeah, wig's rigged. Such good criticism from Zaslow. Why would you wear it? Why would you make a fool of yourself on national? Why wouldn't you respect yourself more than that? I don't know, man. I thought it was fun to make fun of me i mean but at least i
Starting point is 00:07:29 have my own hair every night i have thought of you recently here because i really don't know and you could check out the dominic foxworth show where he will make the second apron entertaining and he will also break down union issues in a way that has more expertise than the average person but i don't know how you have felt about recent developments where your friend the public or a is reporting things that embarrass your friends and colleagues in a union that you have some great pride and i would
Starting point is 00:07:58 imagine because you uh... you were very strong member of that union just the things that have happened over the last, I'm gonna say, 21 days with his reporting, have they been personally hurtful to you? Yeah, I mean, I did a couple segments that were not fun or all that insightful about what was going on there. And I think that it's not incredibly embarrassing to any friends or colleagues
Starting point is 00:08:26 because the people who are being accused of things aren't friends or colleagues. I've always since I left office as president, I've been reluctant to speak out on any issues because of course there are going to be things that happen that I agree with or disagree with but I always try to remember that I was a leader in the union and it was really frustrating for people who had limited information to speak out and be critical. So I haven't really done that. I pointed out that the things, the conflicts of interest that Lloyd Howell is accused of are inexcusable and reprehensible. The one thing I did agree with and want to defend is that the players said that they
Starting point is 00:09:01 are following the process. And that's like core, that is encouraging, because that's core to what a union is. And oftentimes when I was at the union, people would get upset and wonder why you would, why we would defend a player who was accused of some crime, and it seemed clear that he had committed the crime. And the point was, you have to protect those processes,
Starting point is 00:09:24 because if you, for one special case, decide to circumvent those processes, then there comes an opportunity where the case is no longer special and the process can be circumvented. So I say that to say that I respect the player leaders who are taking their time and waiting for the investigation and doing the things right. And even if I didn't, I would never criticize the player leaders who are taking their time and waiting for the investigation and doing the things right.
Starting point is 00:09:45 And even if I didn't, I would never criticize the player leaders of the union. That's just not an appropriate thing to do. But you're also not comfortable, I don't wanna put you in a bad spot here, but just talking to me about sort of the emotion of reading that your union is compromised, right? Or at least appears compromised by something
Starting point is 00:10:06 that would and should make Justin Herbert mad as a member of that union. And if I were Justin Herbert, I would be looking for legal action to get me some of my money back because my union didn't help me there the way that it's supposed to, based on the information that's been reported so far.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Based on the information that's reported, so far based on information has reported at it's infuriating honestly is because if you go back through the history of the union they've been multiple tens and hundreds of players who have sacrificed in order to put the p the current players today in position to have some of the success that they've had a real reap some the rewards of a are able to reap. And it's infuriating for someone who clearly doesn't seem to understand that or appreciate that to use this position as a position to better their own standing and make deals and compromises that undercut the players.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I think the conflict of interest with Carlisle is particularly disappointing. Carlisle Group is trying to become an investor in the NFL team, and Lloyd Howe is an advisor to Carlisle. There are certain things that you just aren't allowed to do in certain roles, and I think that that's one that's pretty obvious. And the power and strength of the union is not something, to me at least, that should be held by one person at the top and certainly not used by that person to better themselves. Like the power and the strength of the union
Starting point is 00:11:37 should come from the players. And I hate always when I, or not always, but often when I hear players talk about the union, they say the union and they say they. They never really say we. And that's not the players' fault. I think it's the function of the union gradually separating the power from the players, and that's disappointing and infuriating, honestly.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Do I have it wrong when I dismiss the NFL players' union with some form of it's only so strong because those guys aren't actually united in being willing to miss the next paycheck. I'm not sure I completely understood. Like, I think that's not the NFL players association alone. Like, that's every union. That is what union strength is.
Starting point is 00:12:19 And I think the executive director of the union is important, but it doesn't matter. You could negotiate the best CBA in history. A child could negotiate the best CBA in history if the players are tight and strong and willing to sacrifice. And that's what it comes down to. That's why it's so upsetting when a guy who doesn't seem to understand that is not doing the things that I think need to be done. And it's just sad, man, it's just sad.
Starting point is 00:12:52 But Dominique, you say that's every union. It's not every union. Not every union is filled with millionaires. It's not every union. Like this. I don't think the, I don't think the makeup of the union matters. Union power comes from solidarity and unity, frankly,
Starting point is 00:13:09 from the name and willingness to sacrifice. It doesn't matter how much money you make, it doesn't matter where you're from, where you live, what country you're in, or any of that stuff, what job you do, none of that matters. I think that there, oftentimes, and it's easy when you are trying to sell yourself to talk about how as a leader how you Can do this and do that and you have these ideas and strategies and you can make
Starting point is 00:13:34 Everything better because you have certain experiences and you've gone to fancy schools and you've been to other places That shit don't matter None of it matters. Like what matters underneath it all is that the players take ownership of the union and the players believe in the union and the players control the union and the players are willing to sacrifice
Starting point is 00:13:56 for the greater good. And they understand the history of the union. They understand that other people sacrificed in order to get them here and that it is their responsibility to sacrifice, to continue to protect the gains that were made for them. And I think the NFLPA is often pointed to, but this is true of all the pro sports unions.
Starting point is 00:14:15 And you could make the argument that it's true of all American unions that they are in retreat. And the most recent CBAs in all of the leagues have taken a step back for a lot of the players. And in part, you could argue it's because of the money in the game, but I think understanding your core beliefs and what matters to you is what it comes down to.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And those things can be changed. Like that dynamic can be shifted. And, but it starts with the culture of the union and culture of any organization. And having this apparent separation of culture, it's not new, like that's not, I can't blame Lloyd Howe for that. That's something that's probably been going on
Starting point is 00:14:55 in the union for a long time. Gradually feeling less like it was the players union and more like the people in the office, a couple of streets from where I am right now are making the decisions for the players. Hey everybody, it's Mike down here in South Florida. As the audience well knows, we've been celebrating a proper championship and we've been enjoying every minute of it.

I think that was what he was adding yeah Telling you the response I got from this guy what I said was amazing I got a cheaters never prosper this guy yelled as angry as he could This is the done libertar Show with the Stugats. ["The Stugats Show Theme Song"] Put it on the poll, please, at LeVittar Show. Could a child negotiate the best CBA, as Dominique claims? Jeremy has a top five list of top five places
Starting point is 00:19:04 that Tony could have indeed made it as a tight end. Are you ready for that, Dominique? Yes, please. I've got three O-L-Is. Oh, wow. Good start already. So, wow. So eight, we're alleging that there are eight places that Tony could make Dominique look dumb as the ombudsman because there are places that he could have been a tight end
Starting point is 00:19:22 in college if he had just applied himself. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University. Good start. They have a football team. Boy, do they. In Cleveland, Ohio, Case Western Reserve University. No, not Cleveland, not in the cradle of the sport. You can't play in Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:19:44 In Claremont California Claremont Mudd Scripps College number five in Storm Lake Iowa Buena Vista University I don't know how that one ended up in Storm Lake. In Castleton, Vermont, Vermont State University, Castleton campus. Subsection football there. I don't think these are teams. I don't think they are all from ncaa.com. The list of division three football teams in the NCA.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Thank you, Jeremy. Number three in Northfield, Minnesota, St. Olaf University. What say you, Dominique? A lot of kawaii, just nothing over there, huh? I'm budsman. Number two, Duluth, Minnesota, the College of St. Scholastica.
Starting point is 00:20:38 And finally, number one, in Tiffin, Ohio, Heidelberg University. So you don't know anything, fancy man. He knows nothing. You think you know all about football, and you think you know all the things, you know nothing. You've been proven a fool in front of people. Yeah, I stand corrected. You're right.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You could have. Thank you. I'm sorry, Alistair. I appreciate that. A wig wearing fool. Have you ever blocked anybody before? Of course I have. Have you ever been hit?
Starting point is 00:21:02 You think? I played football. Yes, I've been hit. What kind of question is that? You played football? I'm sorry, Alistair. I appreciate that wig have you ever blocked anybody before of course I've been hit you think I? Played football yes, I've been hit Yes, where'd you play football in in high school oh I thought that you never played football Of course you're very you wait a minute so you thought that he went out to an FIU football tryout never throwing a ball before You're very you wait a minute so you thought that he went out to an FIU football tryout never throwing a ball before
Starting point is 00:21:30 Throwing motion Are you're acting like I'm the crazy person you know Tony does that sound like something that Tony would do For the record for those who do not man who said he could beat John Am Meachie in basketball, you're saying that I'm the crazy one. Still claiming that. For thinking that he might say that he could play football without having played football. Scroll under that stats tab video, team. It's not that part, Dominique, that I'm objecting to.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I'm objecting to the idea that Tony would have such bad judgment in life in general that he would head out to an FIU practice never having thrown a football before and run through a series of drills where he's throwing an imaginary football in order to try out as a walk-on to FIU. Yes, I don't believe his judgment would be that bad without throwing a football ever. This is the same person who I believe was scheduled to spar with an MMA fighter in Vegas. Like this is, I,
Starting point is 00:22:27 let's just put it out there. I'm the one that you're saying. That fighter was scared of Tony though, in fairness. I'm the one that you're saying is unreasonable. I got a long list of Tony doing irrationally confident things and I'm the one who believes who is standing in his place. Well okay, but no, but what you have a long history of is not him doing irrationally confident things,
Starting point is 00:22:46 is him saying he's gonna do them and then not actually doing them. Like that's not, yes. Is it my fault that the lenses got forgotten? Is it my fault that FIU said no, we're not gonna give you a football? Is that my fault or am I there standing in the breach, waiting for something to happen
Starting point is 00:23:00 and then it doesn't happen, Dan Leventhal? You tell me. Oh man. I'm welcome Tony people to look up both Tony's high school Basketball and football career for us so that we can give Dominique whatever his credentials are there this half my senior year by the way But here we go tour my meniscus. No, I had had a surgery Wow. Here we go. What do you mean? What are you accusing him of Dominique? Here we go, what do you mean? What are you accusing him of, Dominique? I'm accusing him of having an injury
Starting point is 00:23:26 that usually six months is the rehab time and I did it in six weeks. Wow, so I got back quickly. Had, yeah, no, cover your face, I know. Faster healer than you, Dominique. I'm just saying. He can out-heal you, do you wanna have a heal off? Can you heal as well as he heals?
Starting point is 00:23:42 Is it a toughness question? Like, what do you wanna do, Dominique? To be clear, Dan, you believe that Tony is this very impressive specimen who's just lacked opportunity I See people to show up at the lenses I need the footballs to be there when I try out I Make no mistake about it you think that I walk in here and I think people are hyping me up you think that I don't Know that Sponsored by the haters. Thank you. I'll send you a shirt Tony Tony what made me laugh initially was you preemptively making excuses because you know what your
Starting point is 00:24:25 stats were in high school. And you know what I don't have to do about my high school stats is tell you about the injuries I got. I just don't have to do it. They don't come up. Like it's not something to be concerned with. Lebatardaf.com is where it is that you get the t-shirts if you want a shirt of Tony or Zaslow.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I want you to look right now at your text I have just sent you the photo for your approval the newest in the Zaslow collection of lebatardaf.com merchandise congratulations a t-shirt with your face on it you can read and tell the people because I only sent it to you you can tell them what that shirt looks like it's a picture of Zasla looking as he does right now. That's wonderful. That's a picture of me, all right, looking very confident,
Starting point is 00:25:11 and you know, everybody knows, I want opulence. So it reads, I want opulence on the t-shirt. Dominique, would you prefer to live in a manor or a mansion? I don't know if you've been listening to the show. I wouldn't blame you if you weren't listening to the show, but if I say you can live in either a manor or a mansion? I don't know if you've been listening to the show. I wouldn't blame you if you weren't listening to the show. But if I say you can live in either a manor or a mansion, which do you choose? I mean, I feel like the difference,
Starting point is 00:25:33 like manor sounds like there's more grass, right? Like a full manor and a mansion. I feel like a mansion could be in an area, like a neighborhood. I think I'd rather be in a neighborhood. Give me a mansion. I don't know, a manor sounds nice, but every now and then I wanna run into some people.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I can tell you the mansion living, it's good living, Dominy. Dominy's the rare that understood the difference and chose the smaller one. Yeah, it's an unusual choice. The manor requires a lot of upkeep is really the issue. Who needs that? No, I mean, I think it also is just like,
Starting point is 00:26:04 to have a manor, you're gonna be like 30 minutes. Like I live in DC and I like being able to get to like, urban things. Practicality, yeah. Yeah, like I know, all that grass is cool, but I'd rather, if I can afford a mansion, I would then get like a farmhouse or a beach house to go to. But most of my life, I'd rather be in an urban environment. I don't wanna be out in the country.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Get out of here with that nonsense. Okay, but you're putting it in the country and I'm really with Manor, I'm doing more castles now. I'm doing- Those are always in the countryside. When I think- Yeah. Yeah, so now you're talking, and castles actually, if you look this up,
Starting point is 00:26:41 somebody told me this the other day, I was stunned to hear it. Castles, remarkably affordable, remarkably affordable, given what you're getting. Was this like Rich People magazine? No, it was not Rich People magazine. It was obviously I have more money than you magazine. I mean, I think that like the- The Rich People magazine.
Starting point is 00:26:59 The adage of like location, location, location is what is guiding my decision. Like I don't wanna live in a castle. I don't care how big it is, how nice it is. If I'm an hour away from anything cool, no thanks. Like I'd rather be close to things. If I had my choice, like I would live in a penthouse in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Like that would be where I would live. It wasn't for the fact that my wife and the whole family lives in DC. Are you in the market for a castle? Like you were talking to a castle real tonight? Guys no, no, no, I don't I'm not talking about buying a castle I know you like to mock me on these things and I'm easy to mock on these things But I am telling you that if you go with a group of people and you want a castle
Starting point is 00:27:39 Experience and it's 20 people paying for a castle that can take a hundred people You'll be surprised that you'll find it more affordable than your average Airbnb you wanna go get a penthouse. I'm just telling you, I've not done it, but I am told that you'd be surprised that it's more affordable than you think it is to be able to get a castle. But Dominique is telling you, he wants neighbors.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Dominique wants interaction. Yeah, I mean, no, I don't necessarily want to be interacting with him all the time, He wants neighbors. Dominique wants interaction. Yeah. I mean, no, I don't necessarily want to be interacting with him all the time, but I want him around. I'd rather be in an urban environment than a rural one. But I had to stop. While you're looking up the castle things, I remembered from that segment with Tony
Starting point is 00:28:19 how you guys kind of made fun of Andrew Hawkins for saying he was all hands and his routes weren't that good and you remember Andrew as a Confident person took it in stride and didn't get all defensive then I went and watched the video He was killing it like that that to me suggests someone who actually Is a great athlete and probably could have played college basketball somewhere if he wanted to or track or football and maybe two professional leagues. Yeah, maybe. There you go, you sound more confident now.
Starting point is 00:28:51 There you go, we're learning how to sound confident, not insecure. I like it. Oh, making a stretch that a professional athlete can probably be a good athlete somewhere else, huge, yeah. I'm saying that you can feel what real confidence sounds like. That's all I'm saying. Andrew Hawkins had real confidence. I watched those videos he put up and I was like, damn, he got a couple of routes left in his body.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I don't have no snaps left in me, but he got a couple of routes left in there. Dan, you can buy the Parsons Castle on the water in Clifton, Texas for only $4.9 million. That's a good rate on that castle. But you got that. Texas doesn't have castles, that's a real castle. How far is Clifton from anything
Starting point is 00:29:31 that I would actually wanna do? It's a great question. But you can buy the extraordinary Bedford Castle in Wyoming for $14 million, but this castle, Dan, holy cow, I mean, look at the Alps in the background. Pretty remarkable. You would have to pay Alps in the background. Pretty remarkable. You would have to pay me $14 million to live in Wyoming. I'll go visit, but I'm not living in Wyoming. Stop it guys. Who wants a castle in Wyoming? There's no real castles in America though. That's like made up castles.

Starting point is 00:30:22 I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dishing out limp dap? Oh no. Damn, damn, damn. Stugats. I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here dissing out limp dap? This is the Don LeBethard Show with the Stugats. I think that Jeremy's judgment here has been terrible because he's not only not renting castles, he's buying them, but he's doing so in the United States, which is asinine like that's not told me
Starting point is 00:30:48 It's not look at the other ones. It's not like a Castle in the United States is somewhere I expect to have dinner while people are jousting inside because it's a you know a Renaissance type feel medieval times Those are dope. Hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait I'm disappointed in Jeremy because when I was last down there, Jeremy was one of the few people that I appreciated because he took responsibility. He was accountable. Even when things weren't his fault, Jeremy was like, that's on me.
Starting point is 00:31:17 We were, one of my show adages is accountability plays. And when I was down there, we tried to instill that ethos into the culture of the Lebatard show, and Jeremy was one of the first people to accept that. And then he just took Chris, it threw him under the bus, and disappointed me, Jeremy. You're totally right, hey, that one is on me. I've been gone too long, man.
Starting point is 00:31:36 You're right. Why would you take blame for something that's not your fault? That's a sucker move. Nah, that's on me, right? I didn't have to follow the advice. I could have gone and looked for the castles in Northern Italy like I initially wanted, right? I didn't have to follow the advice. I could have gone and looked for the castles in northern Italy like I initially wanted to,
Starting point is 00:31:47 and I didn't. I listened to faulty advice, and then, when I did so, I drained that way down. So close, I think it was good advice. I listened to Chris's insightful advice, and I made a decision on my own to follow that advice. Can we try it again? No, Jeremy, Jeremy, let's try it again.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Fewer words, we gotta work on this word economy this word economy your words we don't need you to sneak in your back door explanation you are doing the I'm sorry that you were hurt you're not not actually given an actual apology like not to take a shot against okay start over first of all Chris I'm sorry for throwing you into the bus not guys Not buying it. Guys, that one's on me. I made the wrong decision. I should have been looking at castles in Italy.
Starting point is 00:32:29 My bad. Well done, Kevin. I don't know what's happening. It's really hot in here. It's so hot. Holy cow. Italy? It's not working, Dominique.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Whatever it is you tried to instill on people here, they must have been allergic to accountability around here. Nah, man, I haven't been there in a long time. And then everybody just slips back into the nonsense. It's just, I don't know, maybe it's about the culture, it's about the leadership of the organization, I don't know. What are the 20 people you're going to a castle with? Are we part of that?
Starting point is 00:33:02 It's not me that's going to the castle. You said you were going with a group of 20 people to a castle with, are we part of that? It's not me that's going to the castle. You said you were going with a group of 20 people to rent a castle. Hypothetically, I did not say that I was going. Castle friends? I did not say that I was going anywhere with my castle friends. Five million euros in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. You're looking up the wrong things.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I'm not asking you for the prices of castles in Scotland. Your castle friends are not going to rent a castle. Your castle friends want not gonna rent a castle. Your castle friends wanna own a castle. My castle friends don't need anybody's help to buy castles. Oh, damn. Well, that's us. Okay. Do your math friends use calculators
Starting point is 00:33:36 or are they like the challenge of doing the numbers off the top of their heads? ["The Last Supper"] Are calculators still a thing? Can you buy a physical, can you buy, no, I know your phone has one, that's your phone. But it's a calculator app on your phone, it's a calculator. TI-85, Texas Instruments. You can still get calculators.
Starting point is 00:33:58 So the calculator business can't be doing well, the physical calculator business. Every school requires you to buy them still, and when you're starting in high school, you need a TI-83 Plus, it's like, by the time my kids get a TI-83 Plus, it's gonna cost what a car costs. And all they use it for is for their friend that has the little cord and the little cheat code
Starting point is 00:34:17 that puts games on it, if we're gonna be real. That's what TI-83 Pluses are for. So you can go on your calculator and play Pac-Man. That's not a calculator, that's a video game. No, that's a calculator, TA83 plus. No, but physical calculators. I'm talking about the business of buying something that I'm going to say only calculates.
Starting point is 00:34:38 That's out of business, correct? I cannot physically go get. No, I think, Dan, I think your problem is you're thinking about like a simple calculator, not a scientific calculator. He's talking about the big TIs that had all the buttons. Graphing calculators. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Those calculators, yeah, those calculators still exist. And the real simple calculators still exist also because kids need calculators for school, and they don't want them to have their phones in class. So they're still calculators, it's not a booming business. But what did you use calculators for before you had phones? Like unless you were an accountant, how much calculating were you doing?
Starting point is 00:35:14 You put the thing in there and then you flip it upside down and it says boobs. It says, you can say hell sometimes. That's a beeper. No, no, calculators can do it. Dan, you're out of your element. You don't understand school supplies. Like there's things that are just never gonna go out of business.
Starting point is 00:35:26 What do you need a compass for? Not like the compass that tells you north, south, the one that draws a circle. You don't need that for anything, but that's always gonna be on a third grade school supply list. How many times did you stab yourself with that thing? That thing stabbed me more than I actually made circles with it. It was so dangerous. I'm actually curious Dominique now that you have children of this age
Starting point is 00:35:49 Do you are you smart enough to teach sixth grade math the way they're now teaching sixth grade math? Compared to how it is that they taught it when you were in sixth grade green says boo-boo hell no hell no the move that I do Is if they asked me for help. So like my oldest daughter is headed in the ninth grade. She stopped asking me for help a while ago when she did used to ask me for help. And now I got a nine year old and a 12 year old boy. Uh, the move is I can't help you right now, but you get a peek at it. And then you go to this thing called YouTube and you look it all up and you
Starting point is 00:36:24 teach yourself it. Then you come, and you teach yourself it, then you come back and you work through it with them. But absolutely not, I can't do sixth grade math. I posted a problem a long time ago from my daughter when she was in sixth grade, where they would give them these like stretch problems. I posted it online and no one could get it. It's just this...
Starting point is 00:36:42 How low do I have to go there before you feel like a real idiot? Like second grade, third grade grade like where is it that you Were unable to teach something that you thought should have been simple to teach but you're like, oh my god parenting is sort of left Me mathematically behind this doesn't happen to my math friends. By the way, they prepare for it So sixth grade I think when my oldest daughter got to sixth grade I had to start going somewhere else to teach it to me before I could help her. And then like seventh and eighth grade,
Starting point is 00:37:10 I stand no chance. Like I would have to like spend a whole day relearning some of these things. Like no, it's not. And she's like kind of smart and like advanced math and stuff and this stuff is really impossible. I'll send you a problem, Dan. Maybe on tomorrow's show,
Starting point is 00:37:24 I'll find one of her reach problems from last year and send them to you. Let's see if you guys can do that. I don't know if I could actually do it, but I sure as hell can't teach someone. I'm saying that my modes of doing math, even addition, that I'd have trouble teaching that to someone because they're teaching it differently now. It's totally different, where I don't even recognize what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Teaching it different? I mean, addition? Damn, like no. They're not teaching addition any differently. I don't think. Like my kids don't need help on addition. It's just one plus one is two. Okay, one step beyond addition.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Sounds like you could use a calculator, Dan. The multiplication division, nope. Teaching it the same way. Maybe my kids are going to retro schools, but those things are still the same. No, division is different. You still gotta learn your times table. Division, I was watching my daughter do a division problem
Starting point is 00:38:15 and it's just like, I didn't used to do it that way. So at least the school that my kids go to, they teach them a bunch of different strategies and you can choose the strategy that you like best for the problem that you're doing. But all my classic old school division strategies still exist. They're still teaching them. You may not use them all the time, but they still exist.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Big year for division. Borthwick Castle in Scotland, Dan, sleeps 28 guests in 13 rooms. It's just 10,000 euros per night. That includes breakfast, although dinner will be quoted separately. And just off the top of my head, if you split that price amongst your 28 guests, 357 euros or so per night.
Starting point is 00:38:57 You did that on a calculator, not in your head. Eight extra members. Suzanne's court for that one. Can I take a quick detour over to like a topic that we discussed on my show? Dan, I assume that you, like most sports fans, believe that the way to win a Super Bowl is through the rookie quarterback contract.
Starting point is 00:39:18 And we kind of dissected it yesterday and realized that no, like since the, it was 15 years ago when Sam Bradford signed the last pre-rookie wage scale deal and he got more guaranteed money than Peyton Manning who had four MVPs and had the most guaranteed money. And Sam Bradford got that before he came into the league. Then Cam Newton came in after got a lot less
Starting point is 00:39:43 and probably deserved that contract, honestly. But I think because of Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, we believe that that was the strategy. But if you look at the numbers, it puts you in a position that maybe you are stuck to a quarterback who's good, but not great, and you would have to require quite a bit of luck
Starting point is 00:40:05 to pull off like a Super Bowl and multiple. Like Eli Manning is like more about luck than it is about skill. So I think a lot of us are following this misunderstood notion that the rookie quarterback is like the shortcut to winning a championship when now you know what it is, it's the same thing as always Ben,
Starting point is 00:40:24 have a great quarterback. You got a great quarterback, you know what it is, it's the same thing as always, Ben. Have a great quarterback. You got a great quarterback? You gotta win Super Bowls. You don't mind paying for them, but I guess that's just because we've got such an obsession with GMing and architecture stuff that people love to be able to say, well, that's a place that you can actually get value.
Starting point is 00:40:42 If you get value there, you'll have more money to spend elsewhere. Not enough time to get into all of this, but that's also a misunderstanding is like, the impacts on the salary cap from paying your quarterback if he's great is de minimis because you can often restructure the contract and keep pushing the cap hit until later and later
Starting point is 00:41:00 and build the team that success. Like you notice all the best teams have really good quarterbacks who cost a lot of money. Like that's just like a misnomer that people use in order to suppress the salaries of some of the best players in sports. The Dominique Foxworth show, you can find all manner of insight there,
Starting point is 00:41:16 except he doesn't want to live in a manner. Good seeing you, sir. Thank you for being on with us. We appreciate it. Bye, I miss you guys. Thanks Dominique. Thanks Dominique. Juju will be here in a minute Tell Tony I'm sorry. I'm here by a minute. You can tell me right now. There he is. I mean, I'm not actually Accepting your apology either
Starting point is 00:41:36 It's on site What's up? All of that is on air all of that is on air we all heard it the audience heard it He said what he said good thing to say oh the fight Wow to old to fight guys Wow He's scared so do sounds like Dominique would take a knee if that was a fight if it was a baseball fight What huh yesterday we talked about taking a knee to avoid a fight. I wasn't here
